HANNAH AND THE RAMADAN GIFT

Aaliya Jaleel Quasim Rashid

The debut picture book by author and human rights activist Qasim Rashid that celebrates good deeds during the month of Ramadan.
It's the first day of Ramadan and Hannah wants to be a part of this important month every way she can. But if she's too young to fast, how can she observe Ramadan? By saving the world, Dada Jaan tells her. And so Hannah learns that by helping her friends and neighbors and by showing kindness and generosity, she can make the world a better place.

The debut picture book by human rights activist and attorney Qasim Rashid tells a timely story full of warmth and heart about the observance of Ramadan and the power of good deeds.
